Elizabeth Wullunmingu
Biography
Elizabeth Kodjdjan Wullunmingu is an Anbara Burarra woman who grew up on her mother country at the mouth of the Blyth River, east of Maningrida in Arnhem Land.
Elizabeth started working as a sewer for Babbarra Women’s Centre in 2010 and created her first screen print design the same year. Rrugurrgurda (mud crab) tells the story of Elizabeth’s homeland, a peaceful place with plenty of mud crabs and shellfish to eat. Rrugurrgurda and Dakkara are good baladji (bush food) and can be eaten all year round.
Elizabeth’s artistic talent runs in her family; her mother, Doris Gingingara, was an artist for the iconic Desert Designs label in the 1980s.
In addition to designing outfits for the 2018 Commonwealth Games,Elizabeth’s work has been featured in high-profile fashion and homeware collaborations including the Kip&Co x Bábbarra collection in 2020 and a stunning collaboration with milliner Helen Kaminski in 2024.
